Last year Unicode announced that the upcoming Emoji 11.0 Beta had 130 new candidates, meaning up to 130 new emoji could be joining the ranks of 🤨, 🏩 , and 🍖. Now that they've had the time to sit and deliberate over which are to be included, Unicode has somehow come up with 27 additional emojis that merited inclusion. Unicode's Emoji 11.0 characters for 2018 will bring 157 new faces/foods/animals.

Entirely too much emoji

Notable new emojis worth your consideration include the Lobster, Woman Superhero, Woozy Face, Bagel, Supervillain, and Cupcake. For a full look at the upcoming set, you can check out Emojipedia's list for Emoji 11.0. Notably, reversible emojis are still on the table with the Emoji 11.0 spec, but there's no word yet on which emojis will get the treatment.

Even though Unicode has made its choice, it'll probably still be a while until we're swapping raccoons and bars of soap on our phones, though Google's new EmojiCompat might assist in the roll-out. Maybe Android P is for pirate? 🏴‍☠️

the same... but young people dominated that shit... I'm not that age to use more than 5 emojis...

i know it's off topic
but the way OEM send android updates it's bother me
so is that possible in the future that Google forced OEM to use stock android
and their skin make it available through google play and it's update separately
so every single phone will get update as soon as it rlease
and if any user like to use the skin he can download it from the store and it can works like launcher but at a bigger size
would it work or i just delusion
(Sorry from my English )

They're not just skins. They include fundamental system changes that you can't get as a user-level app (from the Play Store).

Manufacturers do that because they are convinced that they are adding value.

Mohamed adel ali

the problem that their skin make the update arrive late or maybe you won't get it at all.
and they release a lot of phone and they can't even update all of them

EarlyMon

Right. They want you to buy new phones. They don't make money if you keep being happy with the old ones.

Just only buy phones that you can unlock and install a community rom on. Leave the manufacturers out of it.

Or just buy a Google phone if you want that.

JG

It might speed up upgrading some, but it wouldn't totally solve the fragmentation issue. When Google distributes the official update, OEMs would still have to take time to tweak the release to work with each phone's unique hardware profile before issuing an update.

I was starting to wonder if maybe I should have tried to work that last course in some how so I could have gotten the maths minor... Because obviously my counting skills re not the best...

It's not the size of the heart, it's what you do with it that matters.

Surprisingly this sounds much more inspiring than the penis variant. Huh.

I never heard of EmojiCompat before, but it's about time. It's absolutly insane that we need an OS update in order to install a new font.

CasperTFG

That's why I love Textra with their emoji plug-ins. Never have to wait for an OS update.

yeah but when will emoji's send sms

Emojis are taking over the world! Hah!

I hate human face emojis, never use them.
Also, a lot of objects you can only recognize when enormous, not in a tiny little chat. What's the point then?

The worst of these is the peacock emoji. Sure, blown up in size on a computer screen is pretty visible, but on my phone? I dunno, I think there needs to be a "simplicity" design standard with these...

Si vis pacem, para bellum

Blacks with red hair (because we know how common this phenotype is...) but, for example, no whites with green eyes and brown hair (an actual phenotype). This is the type of madness we end up with going down the path of insane SJWing...

By the way, as someone with one of the phenotypes not represented (white with green eyes and brown hair) I feel discriminated against and oppressed, can someone point me to the nearest safe space complete with teddy bears, candies and coloring books?

Red hair is just an emoji component, which means it can be added to technically any person. Combining the dark skin tone component and the red hair component results in that.

I don't think there's currently an eyecolor component.

I'm wondering how far Unicode will go before they say "no more" on making an avatar creator

I imagine eyes and facial hair start toeing the line. I wonder if they'd draw it as nose/ear/eye shape?

That's the point I was making. Once you start going down this (insane) road there is no end to it. Once you embrace the approach to represent "fairly" all phenotypes, you *must* have all phenotypes. So, for example, the current single eye color is totally "unacceptable" and discriminatory.
There "should" be eye color and facial hair differentiations as well (and hair style, which we have already started to see, and so on and so forth) and there will be.

And this, by the way, is a great example of how "diversity is our strenght"...
